Health & Safety Policies

We create workplace health and safety policies that meet all legal requirements under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and HSA guidelines, while keeping in mind the culture of your business. Whether you operate in construction or professional services, the result is policies that are not only compliant but also practical, accessible, and easy for your team to follow. Should an incident occur, we also provide impartial investigation support to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.

  • Ensure compliance with Irish health and safety legislation.
  • Provide employees with clear, accessible guidance.
  • Create policies that work in practice, not just on paper.
Training that prevents injuries before they happen.

Manual Handling Training

Improper manual handling is one of the most common causes of workplace injuries. Our certified manual handling training, aligned with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 and HSA certification standards, equips employees with the techniques and awareness they need to work safely. From the manufacturing floor to the office, we reduce accidents, downtime, and compensation claims. Delivered on-site or online, it’s compliance made simple.

  • Reduce workplace injuries and related costs.
  • Build employee confidence with safe handling techniques.
  • Meet compliance standards through certified training.
Identify risks. Strengthen resilience.

Health & Safety Assessments

From fire safety audits under the Fire Services Acts to DSE workstation assessments, our health and safety assessments give you a clear picture of where risks lie in your business. We support healthcare providers, offices, and industrial settings with actionable recommendations that not only ensure compliance but also improve working conditions and employee well-being.

  • Gain a clear overview of workplace risks.
  • Strengthen compliance and reduce exposure to claims.
  • Improve employee well-being with safer working environments.

Safety Statements

Under Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, every employer in Ireland is legally required to have a written safety statement. We create safety statements that are fully compliant with HSA requirements, easy to understand, and practical for day-to-day use. By setting out clear responsibilities and procedures — closely linked to your broader employment law obligations — we help you meet legal standards and create a safer workplace for all.

  • Achieve full compliance with HSA requirements.
  • Provide clarity on roles, responsibilities, and procedures.
  • Build a safer workplace with clear, actionable documentation.
